520 As inequality grabs headlines, steals the show in
presidential debates, and drives deep divides between the
haves and have nots in America, class war brews. On one
side, the wealthy wield power and advantage, wittingly or
not, to keep the system operating in their favor-all while
retreating into enclaves that separate them further and
further from the poor and working class. On the other side,
those who find it increasingly difficult to keep up or get
ahead lash out-waging a rhetorical war against the rich
and letting anger and resentment, however justifiable,
keep us from seeing new potential solutions. But can we
suspend both class wars long enough to consider a new way
forward? Is it really good for anyone that most of
society's wealth is pooling at the very top of the wealth
ladder? Does anyone, including the one percent, really
want to live in a society plagued by economic apartheid?
It is time to think differently, says longtime inequality
expert and activist Chuck Collins. Born into the one
percent, Collins gave away his inheritance at 26 and spent
the next three decades mobilizing against inequality. He
uses his perspective from both sides of the divide to
deliver a new narrative. Collins calls for a ceasefire and
invites the wealthy to come back home, investing
themselves and their wealth in struggling communities. And
he asks the non-wealthy to build alliances with the one
percent and others at the top of the wealth ladder.
Stories told along the way explore the roots of advantage,
show how taxpayers subsidize the wealthy, and reveal how
charity, used incorrectly, can actually reinforce extreme
inequality. Readers meet pioneers who are crossing the
divide to work together in new ways, including residents
in the author's own Boston-area neighborhood who have
launched some of the most interesting community transition
efforts in the nation. In the end, Collins's national and
local solutions not only challenge inequality but also
respond to climate change and offer an unexpected, fresh
take on one of our most intransigent problems.
